Ankiti Bose's Career

Ankiti Bose began her career in Bangalore with Sequoia Capital and McKinsey & Company. After visiting the Chatuchak Weekend Market Bose realised how much space there was for expansion and penetration in the Southeast Asian fashion marketplaces. There are more than 11 000 individual retailers operating in the market without an online presence. Despite investments made to increase internet accessibility Bose realised that small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) lacked the financial scaling-up website design and procurement skills necessary to compete with major international corporations.

Ankiti Bose quit her job as an investment analyst at Sequoia Capital in 2015 to create her own business Zilingo. Bose started Zilingo when she was 23 years old.

Over seven million individuals were utilizing the global platform as of 2019.

Due to American shops leaving China as a result of the China-United States trade dispute Zilingo was able to expand into America. She has sought to find Indian fabrics for factories in California and has established offices on both the West and East coasts. Bose established a program at Zilingo to teach Indonesian women how to design garments after seeing that over 40% of women in that country leave the workforce after getting married. Zilingo established a coaching program to assist company-wide leaders.
